How 4-40 Knurled Screw Became a Globally Known Brand

 Description:

A 4-40 Screw and nuts are designed with a similar function to hand screws which are used with the intention of being used or installed without the use of power.


A knurled screw is a type of fastener that features a textured head. It has an angled or straight ridge pattern to improve the grip on a workpiece. These screws are often used in applications where vibrations or noise are a problem. Ever Hardware offers custom knurled screws in various thread sizes. They can be purchased in several lengths and can be ordered in various packaging options.

The knurled thumb screw is designed for controlled adjustment. A knurled screw has a textured screw head that provides a comfortable grip. The nut can be straight or flared. Regardless of the type, all knurled screws are fully threaded. The black oxide finish does not provide any additional protection. A shoulder pattern consists of a smooth or tapered shoulder.

Uses of thumb screws 

These 4-40 screws are a good choice for photography or any other application that requires regular modifications. They are easy to tighten and can be removed manually. Additionally, they are easy to install and remove. The only difference between a thumb screw and a knurled thumb screw is the size. The longer the length, the more secure the connection. The more screws you use, the more likely it is to fail. And knurled thumb screws are usually more secure than standard drywall screws.

Shoulder pattern knurled screws allow the head to sit flush against the mating surface. The recessed portion of the stud makes them easier to remove and reposition. However, thumb screws are not recommended for structural applications because of the risk of breaking or becoming loose due to cyclic loading. Therefore, if you need to use knurled thumb screws, be sure to use a fastener with a knurled head.

Types of Screw

The other type of knurled screw is the 'Knurled head' type. This screw is designed to be easy to tighten and prevent thumb screw loss. These screws come in a stainless steel body with a polished d1 diameter. Those with a recessed portion of the stud are known as 'GN653.2'. These are a good choice for applications where the 'Knurled Head' type screws are desired.

Structure and Composition of a Thumb Screw 

A thumb screw has a flat head. The length of a thumb screw is measured from the underside of the head to the tip of the screw. The length of a thumb screw varies depending on the size of the fastener. A large screw is typically made of two or three parts. Normally, they are used for a single application, but can be modified for another application. Besides, a knurled thumb screw can be adjusted to fit a variety of jobs.

In addition to being functional, knurled screws can add decorative design to a screw. The design of knurled screw heads may be found on metal pins.
